HEIRLOOMS
After my grandparents passed away, their former home became just an empty shell of their former life, filled with their possessions. The process of clearing it out has dragged on for over ten years due to indecision about what to do with the property. I grew up right next door, so I was able to watch it deteriorate. When a house is left to its own devices for so long, with no human intervention, it develops its own narratives. The objects that have lasted generations rearrange themselves, and the materials begin to become one again. The series was created shortly before the demolition. Today, the property is no longer owned by my family.

Nature, depicted as a beautiful and ideal world, is a popular theme in home furnishings. In addition to wallpaper, poster and bedding, shower curtains are also decorated with nature motifs. The forest, in all its diversity, is by far the most frequent one on sales portals. It seems so beautiful that it is printed on a piece of fabric and hung in the shower. By taking the curtains back to the forest, I asked myself to what extent these motifs still have any connection to nature, and what do we see in the images.
